Falcons 2016 workbench.

Post by Falcon »

Got some paint on this one after almost a year on the shelf of doom.

Used old Humbrol enamels for a change too.

Good old reliable Humbrols!
But I am still looking for the perfect gloss finish before decals.

cheers,

Ooh look, an F-16 ;-)

That'll make a small dent in the stash Chris :lol:

Nice to see a model make it off the shelf of doom though :)

Looks like a Venaswalen Air Force F-16 to me.

Just finished one of my project F-16's.

This is my Imperial Iranian Air Force F-16A.

The Iranians had ordered 160 with options on a further 140.

After the Shar of Iran was overthrown in 1979, the US Government cancelled the the whole order.

Cool!

Got to wonder what 300 F/16s in the hands of Revolutionary Iran in the 80s would have done to the balance of air-power in the conflicts that followed...

Looks very nice in those colours. I like the bluing at the tail pipe.

Cheers guys.

Been working on a Turkish Air Force F-16C Block 40.

I wasn't happy with the paintjob when I first removed most of the masking.

Re-masking and re-spraying appears to have done the trick.

It would appear that when I first sprayed the darker of the greys, I had knocked the air pressure up a little too much and the paint had come out far too glossy.

I think I am starting to get the hang of spraying the old Humbrol enamels again.

Calling this one done. I have also repaired the beer can ECM pod on the left wing that was damaged during the photoshoot.
